Congratulations to the hundreds of new citizens who joined the Australian family tonight. These nights have always been special, but even more so after almost two years of lockdowns and remote ceremonies!
The annual Coptic Orthodox Church festival is on today in Drummond Street Oakleigh until 5pm. Beautiful food, heaps of rides and great fun for the whole family. Pop on down and enjoy the great weather.
This is one of my favourite days
Pleasure to join Neighbourhood Watch Monash Inc. this morning for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, raising funds for the Cancer Council.
Zoe turned 5 on Tuesday, so today she had her first COVID shot. Fair to say she wasn’t too happy about having a needle, and everyone in the pharmacy knew it, but getting a lollipop made it all worthwhile!
Happy IDAHOBIT day! Today we come together to take a stand against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia and to recognise the ongoing challenges the community faces
Terrific to join the @waverleywanderersfc to discuss the upcoming redevelopment of the pavilion at Carlson Reserve
Terrific morning joining Aboriginal Elder Ian Hunter on a cultural walk around Valley Reserve this morning
An impressive yet heart wrenching event (No Woman Left Behind) listening to women who have been through so much in their lives but have chosen to respond with resilience and determination
Today is international nurses day.
Congratulations to Essex Heights Juniors Early Learning on their 25th birthday
Happy Mother’s Day to these two super mums who have done, and continue to do, so much for our family. Their enormous contribution could never be properly acknowledged in words, but we’d be stuffed without them 🤗
Great afternoon at the @eastern.lions opening of the Jimmy Williams stand
Honoured to help the @salvosau launch the 56th Red Shield Appeal this evening in Glen Waverley.
Terrific evening with Cr Nicky Luo at the Monash Aquatic & Recreation Centre Pride Night. Such a fantastic initiative by our team and heaps of fun!

Whoever you choose to vote for, and whatever your reasoning, it’s 100% your choice and no-one can tell you how to vote. Never take that for granted; there are millions of people around the world who wish they had the same rights
Voting isn’t a chore, it’s exercising your democratic right. I love the walk with my family to a local booth to participate and enjoy a sausage
Happy democracy day!

I’m very proud that Monash is the first Council in Australia to embark on Rainbow Tick Accreditation. We’re also developing an LGBTIQA+ action plan with our advisory committee which will be presented to the community later this year
The “Being a Voice” exhibition is currently running at the @mga_photography celebrating LGBTIQA+ young people. Excited to officially open the exhibition with Director Anouska Phizaclea, @joy949 CEO Ange Barry and @melbqueerfilmfest CEO David Harris

Many experienced incidents of suicide, attempted murder, rape, sexual assault. Their stories had tears rolling down my face. People, especially women, go through so much but find a way to soldier on. The hidden lives of so many bears so much pain
The sad fact is that these events occur on a daily basis, hidden out of sight and out of mind. We simply must do better
Thank-you to these brave women for telling their stories and for seeking a better world. We stand with them!

Thank you to all the nurses and midwives who have worked so hard, given so much and put up with so much, especially over the last two years
Their contributions should never, ever, be underestimated

The centre is only one of four in the entire state to have achieved an excellent rating (out of 4509 centres)

A big thank-you to all the other mums out there today, and also thinking of those for whom today will trigger memories of loss

Jimmy coached at the Lions, on and off, since 1993 and oversaw a period of massive growth for the club including a number of divisional promotions. Sadly he passed in 2021, but his contribution to the local sporting community will now be remembered for many years to come

What a fabulous organisation. If you can, please donate to help them continue their amazing work helping those in need.
